Welcome to football.london 's Arsenal live blog, where we'll bring you the latest Gunners news doing the rounds.

Unai Emery's side saw their long unbeaten run come a shuddering halt with a 3-2 loss against Southampton, and have been drawn against BATE Borisov in the Europa League round of 16.

The Gunners suffered from a Christmas hangover with a 1-1 draw away to Brighton, and were then thrashed 5-1 by Liverpool at Anfield on a disappointing evening for the Gunners, but bounced back with a 4-1 victory against Fulham.

Off the field, majority shareholder Stan Kroenke has taken full control of the club, buying Alisher Usmanov’s 30% stake of the club.

Ivan Gazidis has now departed for AC Milan and the Gunners have announced his replacements in the form of Raul Sanllehi and Vinai Venkatesham, while Aaron Ramsey seems set to follow Gazidis through the door with the midfielder out of contract at the end of the season.

We'll have all the build up to the midweek action, as well as all the latest transfer gossip from north London throughout the day.

West Ham make offer for Arsenal and Chelsea target

West Ham have reportedly made a bid for Arsenal and Chelsea target Denis Suarez.

According to Sport via Sport Witness, Manuel Pellegrini has “given his OK” to a potential deal for the Barcelona man, though Suarez would apparently prefer to move to either of the Hammers’ Premier League rivals.

Arsenal are in talks to sign the Barcelona midfielder, with the Catalan giants seeking around £18m for a transfer.

Suarez to decide between Arsenal and Chelsea

Denis Suarez will reportedly decide on his future in the next week, with Chelsea and Arsenal both vying to sign the Barcelona man.

However, Sport say that West Ham, Watford and Everton are also tracking the midfielder, and will hope that an offer of increased playing time will help to sway him in their direction, given his lack of time on pitch at Camp Nou.

A loan move is not on the table, as both Suarez and Barcelona will only negotiate a permanent move, with the club reportedly wanting in excess of €10m.
